In 2011, the Village Board approved Ordinance 2011-37 granting a special use to Eric Beck
owner of Xtreme Trampolines approving the operation of a recreational facility (indoor
trampoline facility) at 950 Bush Parkway.
In 2015, the Village Board approved Ordinance 2015-17 further amending the special use for a
change of ownership to allow Shannon O’Connor of Jump Park Buffalo Grove, LLC to continue to
operate the recreational facility as well as to allow the addition of a rock climbing wall.
The petitioner is proposing no changes to the current operations, this is a change of ownership
only. The name of the facility would remain as Rockin’ Jump.

VILLAGE OF
BUFFALO GROVE
MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 12, 2018
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Nicole Woods, Principal Planner
SUBJECT: Lake Cook Corridor Market Study and Plan Update
PROJECT’S PROGRESS-TO-DATE
The Lake Cook Corridor Market Study and Plan project continues to make progress in developing
a vision and plan for the Corridor. An open house was held at Village Hall on November 16, 2017
to present and collect feedback on the draft vision. For those stakeholders that could not attend
the meeting in-person, materials (including the video and poster boards) and an online survey
were available via the project website. Approximately 300 people attended the meeting, filled
out a feedback form, and/or participated in the online survey.
The following are the key takeaways from the feedback collected:
Most respondents expressed support for:
• Stage 1 redevelopment of Town Center and Chase Plaza.
• Flexible open space options (golf, park programming or some combination of the
two) and utilizing open space to mitigate flood risk.
• Improved pedestrian and bike paths that are integrated and connected to retail
and entertainment centers.
Some respondents expressed interest in:
• Learning more of the need/demand for retail and the types of retail anticipated.
• Understanding how the plan would be implemented and impact on taxes.
Some respondents expressed concern for:
• Traffic and congestion impacts.
Building off this feedback, the project team began to outline the draft plan, which was presented
at the January 8th Committee of the Whole Meeting. The preliminary outline is highlighted
below.
Preliminary Draft Plan Outline:
I. Introduction
An overview of the Corridor as well as the plan’s objective and relationship to other
local and regional plans and initiatives.
II. Public Engagement Overview

This chapter will feature a summary of all public engagement activities conducted
over the course of the project as well as the takeaways from outreach activities that
have shaped the direction of the plan as it has evolved.
III. Market Assessment and Existing Conditions Summary
A full summary of the Market Assessment and Existing Conditions Report that was
drafted in April, 2017. The findings from this report helped lay the groundwork for the
vision and plan.
IV. Plan Principles, Elements, and Strategies
Feedback from community engagement activities and the Corridor Planning Group
meetings created a strong foundation for the plan’s direction, which are distilled into
10 Principles and the 4 Key Elements and Strategies. This chapter will describe the
principles, elements, and strategies along with the process by which they were
created.
V. Lake Cook Corridor Plan: Vision, Approach, and Recommendations
This chapter provides an overview of the vision that was presented to the pubic on
November 16th. It will discuss the staged development approach and each stage’s
general vision and fiscal impact. This chapter will also include recommendations to
achieve that vision. The recommendations will be grouped under the three categories:
Land Use, Development, and Existing Assets;
Connectivity; and
Open Space and Natura Resources.
VI. Implementation Summary
A summary of the recommended implementation actions.
NEXT STEPS
The project team is looking to present a draft plan to the Village Board at the March 5th
Committee of the Whole. At this meeting, the project team will also present a short video that
summarizes the main concepts of the plan. This video will be used to advertise the plan to
residents, the development community, and to other economic development and regional
partners. After the presentation to the board on March 5th, the draft plan will be available for
public viewing and comments via online. Staff will also be scheduling time for residents to come
to Village Hall and discuss the plan and its contents in person with staff.
After the open comment period is over, the project team will review and integrate any final
feedback and then present it for adoption. The anticipated date is Spring, 2018.

MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE
VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE HELD IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS, 50 RAUPP BOULEVARD,
BUFFALO GROVE, ILLINOIS ON WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3, 2018
Call to Order
The meeting was called to order at 7:30 PM by Chairman Frank Cesario
Public Hearings/Items For Consideration
1. Consider an Amendment of Village Ordinance 2015-47 to Allow for a Name Change for
55 Dundee Road (Trustee Stein) (Staff Contact: Chris Stilling)
Mr. Sheehan explained in 2014, the Village Board approved Ordinance 2014-56 granting
a rezoning and special use for the Buffalo Grove Auto Center and Car Wash to Regina
Melman. In 2015, the Village Board approved Ordinance 2015-47 granting an additional
special use for the ability to sell up to seven (7) used automobiles on the property.
Ordinance 2015-47 was specifically granted to certain business entities and individuals.
The current property owner, Regina Melman, has notified the Village that her tenant
Randhir Patel of APR Car Wash Inc. is no longer operating the business (car wash, auto
repair and auto sales) and that she will be taking over all operations. Although Ordinance
2015-47 specifically granted rights to Regina Melman of EDR Unique LLC, she is
changing the business entity name to BG Auto Inc./D.B.A EDR Auto Sales. As a result of
the change, an amendment to Ordinance 2015-47 is required. The business will continue
to operate the same businesses under the same conditions. This is a name change only.
Therefore, staff did not feel the need to have the Petitioner present. However, she was
more than willing to show up.
Mr. Stilling added that conditions D and E of Ordinance 2015-47 will also be included
among the conditions staff outline in its recommendation.
Com. Cohn asked staff why the Petitioner was not present and if the car wash operations
will continue at the site. Mr. Sheehan advised that the business’s use and operations will
continue as they exist. The reason the Petitioner is not present is that staff did not feel if
was necessary for the Petitioner to attend.
Com. Moodhe asked if the business name will be changed to EDR Auto Sales. Mr.
Sheehan stated that only the d/b/a name is changing to keep the auto sales separate
from the other business operations at the site. Com. Moodhe is concerned that the
business will change from BG Auto Care to Auto Sales. Mr. Stilling referred to the original
special use that was granted under 2014-56 and when Mr. Patel came in requested to
allow some auto sales. Ms. Melman made a major investment in the auto repair facility
and the car wash and just wants to continue to have the ability to sell a few used cars.
Com. Moodhe understood that request at the time; however he is concerned about th e
sign that could be put up. Mr. Stilling understands Com. Moodhe's concern but explained
that the Village cannot regulate signage content. Com. Moodhe understands the auto
care part of the business but the auto sales is a different business model. Mr. Stilling
responded that the auto sales are an ancillary use to the auto care business.
Com. Khan asked Mr. Stilling if there will only be the two (2) conditions as listed in the
Staff Report. Mr. Stilling explained that the two (2) conditions are relative to the name

change only and that conditions D and E of Ordinance 2015-47 should be added to the
draft Ordinance.
Com. Cohn asked staff about Ordinance 2015-47 and the owner of the property, Regina
Melman and EDR Unique LLC. The tenant was APR Car Wash, Inc. He asked if staff
knows how the sign reads currently. Mr. Sheehan responded that the sign currently says
BG Auto Care. Com. Cohn asked about the new sign. Mr. Sheehan has not seen a new
sign. It may be the electronic sign that Com. Cohn is referring to. C om. Cohn asked if the
sign will say BG Auto Sales. Mr. Sheehan stated that they do have a changeable copy
sign that they could any number of things on. Com. Cohn does not want to see the
business change from its current operations. If the sign changes from BG Auto Care to
Auto Sales, it will effectively change the business.
There were no additional questions or comments from the Commissioners. There were
no questions or comments from the audience.
Ch. Cesario entered the Staff Report dated January 3, 2018 as Exhibit 1.
The public hearing was closed at 7:44 PM.
Moved by Com. Khan, seconded by Com. Cohn, to recommend to the Village Board to
approve the amendment to Ordinance 2015-47, subject to the following conditions:
1. The special use granted to BG Auto, Inc. D/B/A EDR Auto Sales is assignable to
subsequent petitioners seeking assignment of this special use as follows:
i. Upon application of a petitioner seeking assignment of this special use, the Corporate
Authorities, in their sole discretion, may refer said application of assignment to the
appropriate commission(s) for a public hearing or may hold a public hearing at the Village
Board.
ii. Such assignment shall be valid only upon the adoption of a proper, valid and binding
ordinance by the Corporate Authorities granting said assignment, which may be granted
or denied for any reason.
2. The maximum number of vehicles for sale on the property shall not exceed seven (7)
vehicles. Said vehicles shall be stored in accordance with the approved site plan as
identified as Exhibit C in Ordinance 2015-47.
3. The Petitioner shall use printed signs and not hand written signs advertising
automobiles for sale.
4. The Petitioner and the Property Owner shall comply with all State of Illinois statutes and
regulations pertaining to the sale of used automobiles.

2. Consider a Special Use and Variation for Buffalo Grove High School at 1100 W Dundee
(Trustee Stein) (Staff Contact: Chris Stilling)
Com. Goldspiel recused himself from this agenda item due to his son being on staff at
Buffalo Grove High School.
Mr. Ted Birren, Director of Operations, High School District 214, 2121 S. Goebbert Road,
Arlington Heights, IL 60005, was present and sworn in.
Mr. Birren explained that Township High School District 214 (District 214) is proposing an
addition, along with other improvements, to the existing Buffalo Grove High School
located at 1100 W Dundee Road. They want to begin the project in 2018 and they
estimate completion in 2018.
The following is a summary of the new improvements:
Building Addition
• District 214 is proposing an 8,500 square foot addition to the 296,000 square foot existing
high school building that has a height of 40 feet tall.
• The addition will be used for fine arts classes and activities.
• It will be located on the grassy area the southwest corner of the building and not be
displacing any parking spaces.
• The addition will be 34 feet tall at its highest point. The addition’s height as well as its
materials (steel frame, concrete block, face brick and metal panel fascia) will match the
existing high school building. The proposed addition meets all bulk standards.
District 214 is also proposing several improvements to the existing accessory structures.
The following is a brief summary of those improvements
Ticket Booth/Bathroom
• District 214 is proposing a new ticket booth and bathroom building that is 41’-3” by 24’-9”
and 12’ tall. It will be located north of the stadium entrance. This type of structure is
considered an accessory structure in the Village’s Zoning Code and meets all bulk
standards.
• The bathrooms associated with this improvement will not be serviced by a public sewer.
The bathrooms will have a holding tank which will be serviced regularly. Staff has

reviewed this item and finds that it may be permitted provided that District 214 receives a
MWRD and IEPA permit. Furthermore, approval from the Regional Office of Education
will also be required. Approvals and permits from these entities will be a condition.
Storage Buildings
Two new storage facilities on the baseball diamonds are also being proposed. One
storage facility will be 16’ by 30’ and 12’6” tall. The other will be 16’ by 24’ and 12’6” tall.
This type of structure is considered an accessory structure in the Village’s Zoning Code
and meets all bulk standards.
Com. Lesser asked about the proposed toilet facilities that are being added to the
stadium that will not be connected to the sewer system. He asked if they understand that
they need the necessary approvals from the IEPA or other regulatory agencies that
oversee that. Mr. Kevin Camino, Eriksson Engineering, explained that the plan for the
concession/restroom building is to install a holding tank. The Code is not clear if this is
allowed. He has contacted the State of Illinois and has not yet heard back. So they are
waiting for confirmation. If the holding tank is not allowed, they will have no choice but to
connect to the sanitary sewer, which is over 400 feet away from the building. Com.
Lesser was curious as to why this method was chosen in lieu of connecting to the Village
sewer. Mr. Camino explained that it is due to the cost since the sewer line is over 400
feet away. Mr. Stilling advised that the Village’s preference is to connect to the Village
sewer and technically our Health Code requires it. Com. Lesser confirmed with the
Petitioner that the existing parking on the site will not be affected. He also asked if there
are any safety concerns regarding the work to be done. Mr. Birren responded no. The
work being done is similar to work that has been done in the past at the school and all
other District 214 buildings. They rely on their contractors to comply with all safety
requirements. Com. Lesser clarified that he was referring to encroachments into required
setbacks. Mr. Birren advised that the addition will be located within the required setback s.
The variations are for existing encroachments.
Com. Khan advised that in 1994 when he and wife were looking to buy a home, they told
the realtor that they are looking for a home where the schools are top notch. They did
their research and found their home in Buffalo Grove. Both their daughters went to
Buffalo Grove High School. He is very pleased they made the decision to buy their home
in Buffalo Grove. Buffalo Grove High School is very good. He has very high regard for
this school. With regards to the holding tank, where is the nearest point to make a
connection of the sewer to the building. The building cannot be 400 feet away from where
the proposed bathrooms will be located. Mr. Birren stated that the closest location is to
the sewer line located at Dundee Road. Mr. Camino added that the sewer line in the
building is too shallow. Com. Khan asked if the Petitioner wants to have the one-time
charge to install the sewer line or have many costs over many years with pumping the
tank. The cumulative costs could be offset by the initial install cost. Mr. Birren advised
that their option would be to go all the way to Dundee Road. The cost comparison of the
pump out costs compared to the installation costs shows that the lines would not
converge until about 25 years from now. Com. Khan believes that if the sewer line is
available, it is mandatory to connect to it. However he will leave that decision to Village
staff. Com. Khan asked Ms. Woods about the parking information provided in the Staff
Report compared to the letter provided by District 214. Mr. Stilling advised that he
provided the number in the Staff Report and it was just a ballpark. Com. Khan asked how
the Petitioner will be compensating for the stormwater management with the proposed
addition. Mr. Birren advised that the area is not that large and they will be putting in
volume control under the parking lot located next to the proposed addition. There is also
additional retention in the lower parking lot. Com. Khan advised that since they will be

disturbing the area they will need to advise the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District.
Mr. Birren advised that they will be submitting to the Water Reclamation District and the
Village Engineer will need to sign off as well.
Com. Moodhe asked if the area behind the proposed addition, which presently houses
the holding area for the auto shop, will still be there. Mr. Birren advised that the holding
area will remain and they took that into consideration when designing the addition. Com.
Moodhe asked staff about the existing bleachers being out of compliance and if there is
something that the Planning & Zoning Commission needs to do. Mr. Stilling responded
no, District 214 will ultimately be responsible to follow the zoning regulations. Even
though they do not need to get building permits from the Village, they are still responsible
to follow the zoning regulations. So if there are any amendments or changes to those
bleachers they would have to submit it to the Village for review. The ADA improvements
that they are making are nominal and are intended to bring the bleachers closer into
compliance. Staff did not feel the changes necessitated the need for a variation. Com.
Moodhe asked if the Village needs to worry about the other setbacks. The school has
been there for a long time. Mr. Stilling advised that this is similar to what was done with
Aptakisic School. The building may have conformed at one time under prior zoning
ordinances.
Ch. Cesario stated that the proposal is very modest. It is an 8,500 square foot addition on
a nearly 300,000 square foot building. The height of the proposed addition is 34 feet and
the height of the existing school building is 40 feet. The addition would not project any
closer to Dundee Road than the existing building. He is comfortable with the proposed
addition.
There were no additional questions or comments from the Commissioners. There were
no questions or comments from the audience.
Ch. Cesario entered the Staff Report dated January 3, 2018 as Exhibit 1.
Mr. Birren appreciates the partnership with the Village and looks forward to moving
forward with the project.
The public hearing was closed at 8:11 PM.
Moved by Com. Khan, seconded by Com. to recommend to the Village Board to approve
the special use and variations subject to the following conditions:
1. The proposed development shall substantially conform to the plans attached as part of
this petition.
2. Final engineering shall be revised in a manner acceptable to the Village
Engineer.
3. Approval from MWRD, IEPA and the Regional Office of Education shall be obtained for
the proposed holding tank.

3. Consider an Amendment to Chapter 17.36 Zoning Ordinance and Section 8.24.170 of the
Buffalo Grove Municipal Code Concerning RV Regulations (Trustee Ottenheimer) (Staff
Contact: Chris Stilling)
Christopher Stilling, Director of Community Development; Nicole Woods, Village Planner;
and Brian Sheehan, Building Commissioner, were present and sworn in.
Mr. Stilling advised the Planning & Zoning Commission (PZC) that the final version of the
draft Ordinance concerning RV regulations is being presented to the PZC for review and
recommendation. The proposed regulations are pretty much unchanged since the last
workshop, except for the implementation date, which is proposed in the draft Ordinance
as June 1, 2018. That will give staff time to canvass the Village and give notice to the
residents that are found to currently have RVs.
Com. Lesser asked about the highlight and strikeout draft Ordinance. Mr. Stilling advised
that the strikeout portion is the current Ordinance and since this would be codified, the
highlight and strikeout version assists MuniCode in making the changes.
Com. Moodhe asked if this revision addresses commercial vehicles. Mr. Sheehan
advised that commercial vehicles are addressed under a different section of the current
Code.
There were no additional questions or comments from the Commissioners. There were
no questions or comments from the audience.
Ch. Cesario entered the Staff Report dated December 21, 2017 as Exhibit 1.
The public hearing was closed at 8:16 PM.
Moved by Com. Khan, seconded by Com. Lesser, to recommend to the Village Board to
approve the amendments to Chapter 17.36 and Section 8.24.170 of the Buffalo Grove
Municipal Code concerning Recreational Vehicles.
